Any time, anywhere?
Lt. Gen. Jon Davis, the USMC deputy commandant for aviation, told Senate lawmakers that just 32 percent of the Corps’ Hornet fighters were operational. The branch needs at least 58 percent of the F/A-18s to be flight ready so that there are enough planes for combat, flight instruction and day-to-day training.

The Mainstream Media Asserts “No Bias”
Some of you will be shocked, but according to MSNBC, they present fair and honest reporting of the news and the people who make the news.
If you don’t agree with MSNBC, you’ve been brainwashed by ‘white privilege’ to the extent that you feel no ‘white guilt’ (shame for having not been born a negro), you are a bigot, a racist, sexist, and are also likely Islamophobic and homophobic. You may also be Achondroplasiaphobic (the fear of midgets) and coulrophobic (fear of clowns). The fear of clowns takes us down to the next news item of vital importance, and may explain why people fear the Three Stooges more than Barack and friends.
Some people think that the originals are always the best. Hollywood would differ since every single successful movie is re-made (rather than coming up with a new idea). Some suggest that politics stole from Hollywood in this latest Washington re-make.
I can’t stand watching the cheap knock-offs on television or when they make “news” – because it’s always bad news. $150 billion to Iran to stop developing missiles and nukes – and the Iranians laugh and keep developing missiles and nukes and use the $150 billion to fund terrorism directed at us. Or the botched Arab Spring and the Benghazi Massacre. Or Fast and Furious, where they transferred many thousands of firearms to the Mexican drug cartels…and on…and on.
Background Checks
Do background checks work in the firearms acquisition process? No. They’re a joke. You only need to have a background check if you’re an honest, hard working, American. Criminals buy firearms from other criminals. The same is true of banning any class of weapon. Most categories of weapons are illegal to own in Mexico. When did that stop the cartels from buying anything that they want? It’s one of those straw-man arguments that progs make that don’t hold water.
If you want people to feel safe, do as the Swiss do. Train EVERYONE in the use of firearms and allow them all to carry. Punish crimes where firearms are used severely. That fixes it. The problem that Barack has is that it would end in locking up more inner city people…
And while we’re at it, we need to do what Trump suggests and that is take a very long and hard look at any Muslims who want to settle in the US…because background checks don’t work very well for them either. Background checks only work on honest, hard working, Americans.
Mexico
Several Mexican states have declared martial law (mostly in the far South of the country) and the situation there remains unresolved. Many small villages still don’t have tap water (in the village), and the government doesn’t do much to build infrastructure. Unemployment is rampant and wages are laughingly low. There are different standards in what MEXGOV is willing to spend in those states, generally populated by “Indians”.
Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Guerrero are the hardest hit and the insurrection has been going on for years. And no, the mainstream media doesn’t cover it because it’s Mexico. That’s just how it is.
Last Word
I pretty much don't like remakes, either. Just because you can remake something with pretty graphics, doesn't mean you should.
I fear for America, and I keep praying.
That whole sit-in thingy was just plain embarrassing. What the heck ever happened to dignity?
The end of Reagan ended dignity. Seriously.
I think that the nation will muddle through. At least I hope that it will.
Background checks don't work….I got in ;) I expect to wake up to a BREXIT has happened blog post from you tomorrow. Don't disappoint. I expect a sea of red nose euphoria.
Jhn Lewis, who does NOTHING in congress, is losing voters in GA, so he tries on of his 60's ploys. A sit-in for no one because Congress recessed and left them sitting and looking like fools.
I dunno, Coffee. John Lewis will be re-elected to his congressional district in Georgia forever. He marched at Selma with Dr. King, you know. I know this factoid because the Hon. Congressman Lewis mentions that in every damn speech he makes.
These stupid Democrats desecrating the floor of the House should be sanctioned in some manner. This was just plain stupid, and accomplishes nothing, except maybe losing them seats in November.
If he doesn't, I will, Jules. In fact, I started drinking to celebrate imminent BREXIT last night, and I'm almost too hung over to blog.
"…lower levels of readiness than the US was before World War Two." Criminy, that's catastrophic. I just hope we have time before the next war to properly try that treasonous bastard. We'll still be screwed, but we'll feel better.
You Sir, have style! I shall join you with spirit.. In spirit… Drinking spirits!
Let's just hope the voters don't spoil the party!
The BREXIT results are too close to call, and a of this moment, they're not available…You can either drink out of joy or sorrow, though.
Losing them seats in November is good enough.
We have enough rope (and rope can be re-cycled).
After using it on Charles Rangel and other larger criminals, I don't think recycling is a good idea. The rope may need to be retired. Rope's only good for so many cycles under load.
But why waste rope? If it snaps under load, simply rig another one. I have no idea what mean time to failure is. OR use a steel cable instead, or a piano wire for more efficient usage. Yes, the piano wire is a bit messier, but it sends a message that a regular rope does not.
We I'm at Wild West drinking in total positivity with messenger results coming through from my pals across the pond. So far, exit in lead!
